A joint
family is not just a family but a canvas that depicts different choices, lives,
problems and ethics. A joint family depicts the concept of different
individuals carrying a different mindset living together under one roof and
that too with harmony. The happy co-existence is supported by moral values,
love, affection and obviously a house that can accommodate all. A house carries
a much broader meaning than just barely being an option for accommodation. A
joint family that comprises of elderly people, youngsters and kids live with
their feelings attached with their spaces.

Therefore, it
becomes necessary to find a home that can give them ample opportunities to lead
their lives like a king in the new home. Here are some of the tips for a potential
home renter who is looking out for a ‘nest of affection’ for his/her joint family:

1.The Locality

A renter
should take this aspect seriously while on house-hunt for his joint family. The
locality should be such that it offers proximity to the essential
infrastructures, such as market area, malls, school & university area and
hospitals. The working people in the family can have a tough time if the
commercial hubs or the office area is away from the residence. Thus, the renter
should also consider the aspect.Summing these basic needs, excellent locality,
neighborhood and connectivity are some of the factors something that should be
taken care of. A joint family may carry a different outlook and choices thus
selecting a home that balances every demand can be the best deal.

2.Size of the
House

Since, a
joint family comprises of kids and people of varying age groups starting from
20-60 years or even more; a house that accommodates well should be selected.
The size of the house should be bigger enough to encapsulate the preferences of
the dweller. Kids need an open space to run & play, elder people mostly
prefer to sit in the open area and during summers, the entire family would love
to enjoy at the terrace. Thus, a renter should take note of the size of the
house. However, a bigger house may cost a lot much thus, a resale property or
an independent house in a less developed or developing area of a city can be
considered.

3.The Interior

Interioris also one
of the most important factors when considering a home for the joint family. The
interior is not supposed to be costly or modern but free of any damage. A
dilapidated house can be a big mess for any family and dwelling in false
condition can be a major turn-off. Leaked ceilings, washed-off walls and low
maintenance are some of the negative factors that can affect the peaceful
living. Dull colors, gloomy areas and bad lightings are also some of the
aspects that can come up as major put-offs for the dwellers. A potential renter
should check the interior of the house properly and pin-point similar issues to
the owner or the real estate agents for rectification. For instance, rental house in Chennai, Kerala or any other core south Indian cities will have more of
open area as a part of their traditional architecture. However, cities like
Delhi/NCR follows DDA rules and design style.

4.The Other
Practical Aspect

Apart from size and interior of the house, there
is another practical aspect that a renter should take note of and that is the
size of the family and how each member functions. A joint family can have 6,
10, 15 or even more members and each will have a different style of doing the
chores; thus, the workflow should be considered properly. Here are some of the questions that the new home should be
able to answer:

What if everyone is on the same time schedule? Will
the kitchen and dining room be large enough to let people cook and serve meals
with other folks?

What if there are guests dropping by? Is the seating
facility spacious enough?

Is the number of wall sockets enough for all the
computers, televisions and electronic items that the family would use?

5.The Safety
Factor

Apart from a
safe locality, the house should also be able to satiate other safety criteria,
such as the balcony should have longer and covered grills for safe kid’s play
area, the chimney or the in-house fireplace should have a perfect diffusion
system to avoid smoke accumulation, the staircase should be safe with each step
broad enough to ease the climbing up and down task. The house should also have
electric meters and MCBs well-laid and covered so that kids or people don’t get
in touch with them, accidently.

A house
should bespeak love, safety and practicality, all in one. Then only, it will be
able to accommodate the souls lovingly and properly.

Have a happy
search!!
